Hampstead Norreys is a small, picturesque village and civil parish in West Berkshire, England, lying a few miles north‑west of Newbury. It sits on the gentle chalk and downland fringe of the North Wessex Downs AONB, so the surrounding landscape is a mix of wooded gullies, pasture and arable fields with the feel of traditional Berkshire countryside.
The village has medieval origins - its "Norreys" suffix reflects long‑running local landowning families - and retains a compact core of historic cottages, a parish church and community facilities such as a primary school and village hall. Today the local economy is mainly rural, with farms nearby, while many residents commute to larger towns; socially it remains an active village with regular local events, a pub and a strong sense of community.
